My jaguar is overheating an has some orange flowed leaking from some where on the top

turn the temperature up to the hot to blend the hotter temperature

this warning can be flagged by lots of reasons you really need to get the fault codes out of the engine control module but the common causes i have found after working on these cars for a few years are air leaks after the mass air flow sensor, sticking throttle butterfly in the throttle body, the throttle itself, lamda sensors, and knock sensors, and because the temp gauge does not give you a true temp reading the engine could be overheating the clue to that is the rad fan always running

You may have a leaking head gasket if it is really overheating.

Hi,
You have insufficient coolant inside radiator that it boiled during running. Just top your coolant to normal level and re try your car. If still boiled you may have : - clog up radiator or - defective thermostat
Check also the radiator and hoses for leaks.

Thanks for the vote, and good luck!

Overheating means not enough cooling due to some blockage from the cooling path.
It is not necessary to have a leak. When the coolant is stagnant, coolant is not able to flow through the water jacket, radiator by the help of the water pump then heat can't be dissipated through the radiator fins therefore engine gets overheated.
You need to check these followings.
1- Thermostat: if it is not open then you get overheat.
2- Radiator: if it gets clogs up coolant can not flow thruogh.
3- Water pump: it the bearing is broken, it can not circulate coolant to the radiator.
Hope this can help.

This Could Be a NUMBER or Things.
1 Thermostat Sticking CLOSED.
2. Coolant Level LOW
3. LEAK in COOLING SYSTEM
4. If you have a 2 FAN System 1 Could Be Faulty
5. CLOGED / CORRODED INSIDE of RADIATOR
6. Radiator Dirty In the FRONT of it Restricting AIRFLOW

Has the vehicle overheated recently, if not there is a failure of the Coolant from engine valve controller, that measures flow through the Heater Matrix. Come back with more, as necessary.

It sounds like the classic symptoms of air leaking into the engine after air flow sensor. check the hoses on top of the engine. Also spray detector spray around the inlet manifold this will get dragged into the engine at the leak and will make a noticeable affect on the engine note/smoothness. Leaks around the inlet manifold is quite a common fault on s type. see other posts with similar symptons earlier in jaguar fixya.
Good luck. Please let me know if you find the fault.

You Can go to a non jaguar automotive supply shop, But be carefull to put the right coolant in, there are two types of coolant lim green in color and red you will need the red type. Fill up to the stated level on the expansion bottle and your away.
Hope this helps
